• Abstract:
  The objective of this research was to investigate and document practices currently being used by the
  
  Nebraska Department of Roads (NDOR) districts and other State DOTs to mitigate pavement edge
  
  drop off. The NDOR has developed (or borrowed) and is currently incorporating into its standard
  
  practices several procedures that significantly decrease the incidence and magnitude of pavement
  
  edge-drop off. As these practices become more fully integrated into highway reconstruction projects,
  
  pavement edge drop off is expected to decrease dramatically. Localized areas of pavement edge drop
  
  off along paved lanes with bare or vegetated shoulders were noted as posing particular problems for
  
  NDOR maintenance personnel. Several commercial systems for artificially reinforcing soil beneath
  
  vegetated or aggregate shoulders were investigated. Suggestions for follow-on research and field
  
  studies involving various mitigation procedures are included in the recommendations.
